Are there any partitioning requirements associated with loading files
using the fatload command? I have found that if I try to load a file
from the 2nd partition and the 1st partition exceeds a certain size, the
fatload command fails.
For instance, with part1=8MB and part2=4MB, I see the following error
when loading an image from the 2nd partition:
=> fatload ace 0:2 140000 uimage
reading uimage
Invalid FAT entry
26624 bytes read
However, with part1=4MB and part2=4MB, the same file loads fine from the
2nd partition. If I put the file in the first partition it always loads
fine.
Both partitions were formatted using mkfs.msdos.
>From linux, I can read and write all partitions to my hearts content
which indicates that the hardware itself is ok.
